Fun and Games

We have really enjoyed having Tana here this week! She quite likes our family tradition of playing a game at lunch time nearly every day. Today we all played Clue, then after that Tana, Erinn, and Kris played Wahoo on the 3 player board.

What we've been doing...

We went to a home school convention in Houston, but it turned out to be a family get together as well. The speaker we (adults) enjoyed most and were most inspired by was Voddie Baucham, but they were all good. The kids enjoyed John Erickson the most.

Kiwi with her computer open, probably booking the hotel room for the night.

Kris got at least 6 comments from various people about his t-shirt. The blue part says "Not Texas, not Texas, not Texas, and Definitely Not Texas."
